Little Ferry NJ Carjacking LawyersLittle Ferry NJ police are searching for several suspects accused of committing a carjacking and armed robbery.

The incident occurred not long after 7:00 a.m. According to officials, the victim was behind the wheel of a rental car and driving on the Bergen Turnpike, in an industrial area in Little Ferry, New Jersey. When the victim stopped the vehicle, four men reportedly drove up behind him and came to a stop as well.

Two of the suspects stepped out of their vehicle and quickly moved toward the victim’s Dodge Charger. The suspects who stepped outside the car allegedly brandished handguns.

According to the victim, the suspects demanded that he get out of his vehicle and get onto the pavement.

The armed suspects then reportedly got into the victim’s motor vehicle and drove away from the scene. Meanwhile, the unarmed suspects allegedly sped off as well.

Thankfully, the victim was not physically injured as a result of the carjacking.
